Listen to my personally curated Spotify playlist of “confidence songs” to motivate you.It’s tremendously insightful as to your driving motivations and fears that may be holding you back. Take the Enneagram test and start reading up on your type on Pinterest and Instagram.The Path Made Clear (Oprah’s guide to “purpose”).The 5 Second Rule (the principle that enabled me to create this blog), and.You Are a Badass (which is a lighthearted catch-all for all self-help thinking out there), Rethinking Success (to find meaning in the intangible),.Journal about your own life’s purpose and make a to-do list that gets you started taking even small actions in support of it - then get started.But don’t let it fool you - this “self-help” is not hokey or surface level - it’s soulful and spirited, loaded with purpose and meaning, and transformative power. It’s a quick read that’s mystical and wise, with lush writing and buried universal truths about the importance of our dreams and listening to our hearts. None of these people know what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to find it, as Santiago’s journey becomes one of discovering treasure within. Along his journey, he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. The Alchemist centers around an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago, who travels from his home in Spain to the desert of Egypt to search for buried treasure near the Pyramids. While the story is simple, it imparts far more soulful truths beyond the text itself. Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist is the beloved modern classic fable (and one of the best selling books of all time) about following your dream, with depth unlike any other “self-help” text I have read, and it resonated with me deeply in why I created this blog. This has both scientific definitions, in terms of such actions as changing the form of certain metals, and spiritual connotations, in terms of helping someone become a better person. Themes in The Alchemist by Paulo CoelhoĪn alchemist is someone who transforms something for the better.
